UNC kicked off the Hubert Davis era Friday night with a relatively easy 83-55 win over Elizabeth City State.
Davis promises some modernization of the traditional Dean Smith/Roy Williams system but after Friday’s exhibition some things haven’t changed: UNC got 48 rebounds to ECSU’s 28.
Keep in mind that not only is this an exhibition but there’s a new coach, a modified system and many new players.
There’s a lot to sort out.
So don’t put too much stock into 14 turnovers vs. ECSU or the 43.1 shooting percentage.
What did interest us mildly was this: Leaky Black only got 16 minutes and the star freshmen, Dontrez Styles and D’Marco Dunn, only got six minutes each.
